The Administration of Justice in Islam (An introduction to the Muslim Conception of the State)

It traces the development of the law begining from the era of the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) continuing through the periods of Khulafai - Rashidin, the Umayyads, the Abbasids and the Fatimid Caliphate; the Muslim suzerainty over parts of Europe and Spain, the Turkish Empire and the Muslim rule in Egypt, Persia and India and ending with the fall of the Mughal Empire.

It is hoped that legislators and research scholars of law would derive much benefit from the work of great authority.

These few pages contain the outlines of the Administration of Justice of Muslim Law. I have treated it as an historical narrative. I have surveyed the progress of the Muslim Law, during the era of the Holy Prophet. Al- Khulafa-ur-rashidun, the Umayyad, the Abbaside and the Fatinud Khulafat in Spain, in the Turkish Empire and Egypt, in Persia, aud finally in India during the reigns of the early Muslim monarchs, the Mughal Emperors and the East India Company practically till the events of 1862. I hope the work will meet with the approval of those interested in the Muslim Jurisprudence.
